PORTLAND — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland is investigating a retired Maine priest for “reported incidents” of abuse between 1982 and 1986, according to a press release distributed Saturday by the church.
The church did not elaborate on the incidents, but retired Father Antonin “Tony” Caron has a history of disciplinary and legal troubles.
Caron was a priest at Notre Dame in Waterville shortly after his ordination as a priest in 1969; he served in Waterville for about six months, according to Father Joseph Daniels of Corpus Christi Parish.
In March 2000, the church suspended Caron for several months for involvement with a now-defunct website for gay clergymen.
